Mold is everywhere, all of the time, and in most cases is harmless. But, many molds produce spores that trigger allergic responses, and recent studies have confirmed that some species of molds produce mycotoxins, which can cause numerous other health problems, many serious. Mold contamination in homes and buildings is becoming a growing concern of homeowners and tenants, commercial property owners and managers, workers and employers, and even insurance companies and attorneys.

In order for mold to grow and thrive it needs oxygen, a food source, and moisture. Moisture is often the easiest of the three culprits to eliminate, but its source is not always obvious. It can require field personnel experienced in building construction to locate the source of moisture and determine the extent of contamination so that it can be remediated.

DS Consulting, Inc. provides technical assistance to identify the potential locations of mold through assessments and sampling that confirm the presence and type of mold. Until the source of moisture is removed and the contaminated area is remediated, mold growth will reoccur. Our mold inspectors are experienced in investigating and sampling for mold contamination and resolving mold issues. DS Consulting, Inc. also provides remediation protocols for professional remediation, remediation oversight of the professional contractor, and performs clearance sampling and final documentation that the remediation was completed thoroughly and properly.
